Feature Truncation for Nameserver
fixes rt.cpan.org #33547 and #42744
TAKE CARE:
this feature may cause unexpected behavior for your nameservers
and can be turned off by setting Truncate to 0 during the creation
of the nameserver.
my $ns = Net::DNS::Nameserver->new(
Truncate => 0,
);
Net::DNS::Packet::truncate is a new method that is called from
within Net::DNS::Nameserver that truncates a packet according to
the rules of RFC2181 section 9.
Acknowledgement Aaron Crane for an elegant test and for
inspiration for a direction.
Feature: Added Net::DNS::Domain
Net::DNS::Domain is an attemt to consistently approach the various
ways we interface with what RFC 1035 calls <domain-name>.
The class and its test script t/02-domain.t are included to be
exposed to various architectures.
The class and its methods may be subject to change, both in terms of
naming and functionality.

Fix rt.cpan.org #47265 (partial)
Frequently Net:DNS under Windows XP has a UDP problem which is
caused by a buggy implementation of SOCKS under Windows.
One liner added to not continue UDP processing when that happens.
Feature KX RR
Added support for the KX RR, RFC2230
The implementation is trivial since the KX inherets almost all of
its functionality by inheritance from the MX RR.
Fix NSAP RR string representation
RFC1706 specifies the masterfile format to have a leading "0x" and
optional dot. This was not how the RR was represented with the
rdatastr method (and hence string and print).
Fix rt.cpan.org #52307 AAAA v4compat parsing bug
Acknowledgement: BLBLACK
Fix AAAA dynamic update
Dynamic update of AAAA caused FORMERR on the prerequisite caused
by AAAA creating rdata even when an address whas never specified.
This fix may cause difference in behavior for people who expect a
NULL address ("::") when creating a AAAA without an address
specified.

Fix rt.cpan.org #11931 Wrong nameserver list handling in
Net::DNS::Resolver::Win32
The init method has been rewritten to be based on WIN32::IPhelper for
the selection of the domain and the IP addresses. This is believed to
be more portable than trying to fetch the data from the registry.
We still trying to get the searchlist from the registry.
WARNING: If you use Perl under WIN32 (eg ActivePerl or Strawberry Perl)
then your module dependency graph has changed drastically
Fix IPv6 modules
When IO::Socket::INET6 was available but Socket6 was not the code would
recurse to infinity.
Fix rt.cpan.org #21757 and Feature: Connectivity during test
Addition of --no-IPv6-tests and --IPv6-tests option in Makefile.PL.
Note: This causes two questions to be asked when building the
Makefile instead of one.
Besides the test suites are constructed so that all the connectivity testing
happen in 001-connectivity.t and inavailability of connectivity over a certain
transport is signalled over files t/online.disabled and t/IPv6.disabled respectivly.
Both files are removed by t/99-cleanup

Priming query logic contained unneeded recursion.
Now also fals back to hardcoded hints if there are no nameservers whatsoever.
Fix rt.cpan.org #38390 and 37089

The CD flag defaults to being unset and the AD flags is set by default
whenever DNSSEC is available.
Both flags default to unset in absence of DNSSEC.
Fix rt.cpan.org #37282
Improved error reporting during client disconnect from the nameserver
NOTE rt.cpan.org # 40249
Release 0.62 introduced a feature to parse data inside a packet only
when needed. This can the following to happen:
Eception: corrupt or incomplete data at
/usr/lib/perl5/Net/DNS/RR.pm line 510.
caught at -e line 1
This may happen when you have undefined your packet data before all the
sections have been fully parsed. Such as in:
$packet = Net::DNS::Packet->new(\$data);
undef($data);
The workaround is to force parcing by calling the methods that
parse the data. e.g.
$packet = Net::DNS::Packet->new(\$data);
$packet->answer; $packet->additional; $packet->authority;
undef ($data)
Fix rt.cpan.org # 41076 and # 41071
Net::DNS::RR->new_from_hash function would not normalize the content
of the data so that a method getting a string representation would

Perl 5.10.0 gave a number of issues on several platforms, prefering

Feature (rt.cpan.org #39284)
The ReplyHandler now also receives a variable with an annonymous has with the connection details. Variables
supplied to the Reply handler are: $qname, $qclass, $qtype, $peerhost, $query, $conn
The hash referenced by $conn contains the following buckets: sockhost, sockport, peerhost, and peerport.
Feature t/08-online.t and t/10-recurse.t
In particular environments a query for a.t. will resolve and or
middleboxes will replace DNS packet content for queries to the root.
A bunch of test is skipped when this (broken) environment is
detected.
Feature/Bug rt.cpan.org #22019
The initial fix for rt 22019 was to strip a trailing dot from all
attributes that where povided as argument for the
Net::DNS::RR::new_from_hash function. We have introduced
Net::DNS::stripdot, a function that will strip the dots of domain
names, taking into account possible escapes (e.g. labels like
foo\\\..). As a side effect the new_from_string method will now
convert possible spaces that are not trapped by some of the
new_from_string functions and convert them to \032 escapes.
For information: The internal storage of domain names is using
presentation format without trailing dots.
Bug
@EXPORT and @EXPORT_OK moved to a BEGIN block so that Net::DNS::SEC
can make use of exported functions
Feature/Bug
The Notify handler introduced in 0.63 did not set the OPCODE on the
reply appropriately. This has been solved generically by allowing the
"Headermask" that is returned as 4th element by the reply or notify
handler in the nameserver also allows for the opcode to be set.
e.g. as in return ("NXDOMAIN",[],[],[],{ opcode => "NS_NOTIFY_OP" }
);
to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.8.8 -> 5.10.0.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=...").
Changes since version 0.62:
===========================
*** 0.63, 8 Feb 2008
This version contains a Security Fix.
Feature NotifyHandler in Nameserver
The NotifyHandler is a new attribute to the nameserver used in the
same way as the ReplyHandler except that it is executed when the
opcode is NS_NOTIFY (RFC1996). It takes the same arguments as the
reply handler (i.e. $qname, $qclass, $qtype, $peerhost, and $query).
Corrections made in the documentation.
Fix rt.cpan.org #32937: 5.11 introduces new warning on uc(undef)
The patch supplied fixes for methods where undefined arguments were
likely. For methods where undefined arguments don't make the warning
will be printed.
Fix rt.cpan.org #32147: Default LocalAddr broken in Net::DNS::Nameserver 0.62
Listen on the default address if LocalAddr not defined.
Fix rt.cpan.org #30316 Security issue with Net::DNS Resolver.
Net/DNS/RR/A.pm in Net::DNS 0.60 build 654 allows remote attackers
to cause a denial of service (program "croak") via a crafted DNS
response (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2007-6341). Packet
parsing routines are now enclosed in eval blocks to trap exception
and avoid premature termination of user program.
Bug: mbox-dname and txt-dname were not allowed to be empty in the RP RR.
Fix by Peter Koch
Pkgsrc changes:
- A C compiler is necessary.
Changes since version 0.61:
===========================
*** 0.62, 28 December 2007
Features: Move of some functionality out of the Packet to the Question
and RR classes; parsing of elements in the packet is now performed
by calling the appropriate subclasses.
New methods were introduced:
* Net::DNS::Packet->parse()
* Net::DNS::RR->parse()
* Net::DNS::Question->parse()
The Packet class now defers parsing of authority/additional until
their content is really needed. This should cause a bit of
performance improvement.
Dick Franks is acknowledged for this Good Work (TM).
Feature: the Net::DNS::Packet's answersize() method will from now on
ignore its arguments and just return the size of the packet.
Feature: The Net::DNS::RR->new() method used to call
Net::DNS::RR->new_from_data() whenever called with the appropriate
combination of arguments. That (undocumented) behavior has been deprecated.
Use Net::DNS::RR->new_from_data() directly if you depended on that.
Feature: Net::DNS::Packets unique_push now ignores the TTL in
comparison of uniqueness, this is closer to the intend of
RFC2181, but not yet fully compliant.
Fix rt.cpan.org #29816
Acquiring the IP address for the Resolver under Cygwin is made
more resilient.
Fix rt.cpan.org #31425
Empty question section in Base.pm search method detected
Fix rt.cpan.org #31042
Makefile corrected to add a library target.
Fix rt.cpan.org #29818
10-recurse.t used to fail in very specific environment (where a query for
qname="." and qtype="NS" would return with an empty additional section).
Fixed by adding the hints explicitly; this also forces the tests to take
place under the root served by a-m.root-servers.net
Fix rt.cpan.org #29877
Made 00-version.t recognize a "GIT" environment.
Fix rt.cpan.org #29878

Fix various tests only available through SVN, so they are
more robust (Acknowledgements Bjoern Hansen)
Fix rt.cpan.org #24343
Resolver's nameserver() method would do silly things with undefined
arguments.
Fix rt.cpan.org #29531
Nameserver.pm, Packet.pm and Question.pm modified to avoid erroneous PTR
lookup in response to mischievous query packet containing an IP address.
Fix rt.cpan.org #27970 better netdns.o
Marek Rouchal provided two minor improvements for linking the C
code sniplets
Fix rt.cpan 28345
A fix in Test::Simple revealed an off by 1 error in the testplan
for 05-rr-rrsort.t. The fix is to remove a test, creating a dependency
on Test::Simple 0.71 seemed overkill.
Pkgsrc changes:
- none
Changes since version 0.60:
===========================
*** 0.61, 1 August 2007
Fix rt.cpan.org #28106, 28198, and 28590
Modification of $_ in various places.
Fix
t/11-inet6 assumed lowercase domain names.
Pkgsrc changes:
- Removed patch-ac for t/11-inet6.t, this got integrated by the software
maintainer.
Changes since version 0.58:
===========================
*** 0.59 September 18, 2006
Fix rt.cpan.org 20836, 20857, 20994, and 21402
These tickets all revolved around proper reverse mapping of IPv6
addresses.
Note that directly calling Question->new() withouth arguments will
cause the qclass,qtype to be IN, A instead of ANY, ANY.
Net::DNS::Resolver's search() method would always gracefully
interpret a qname in the form of an IPv4 address. It would go out
and do a PTR query in the reverse address tree. This behavior has
also been applied to IPv6 addresses in their many shapes and
forms.
This change did two things, 1) root zone not implicitly added to
search list when looking up short name, 2) default domain appended
to short name if DEFNAMES and not DNSRCH.
Fix rt.cpan.org 18113
Minor error due to unapplied part of patch fixed.
Feature: Experimental NSEC3 hooks.
Added hook for future support of (experimental) NSEC3 suppport
(NSEC3 having an experimental type code).
Pkgsrc changes:
- Added patch-ac to change the number of skipped online tests (still
incorrect).
Changes since version 0.57:
===========================
Feature: hooks for DLV support in Net::DNS::SEC
added hooks for DLV support which is/will be available in
Net::DNS::SEC as of subversion version 592 (Tests are done agains
the subversion number, not against the perl release version)
Net::DNS::SEC version 0.15 will have DLV support.
Partly Fixed rt.cpan.org 18940
djhale noticed a number of error conditions under which de
udp_connection in Nameserver dies. We now print a warning instead
of dying.
Fix rt.cpan.org 18958
Fixed typebyname croak for SIGZERO. Acknowledgements to djhale.
Optimize rt.cpan.org 11931
Hanno Stock optimized the method to get the list of available
interfaces in Win32. I have only done very rudimentary tests on
my Windows XP system.
Fix dependency on "CC" rt.cpan.org 19352
The Makefile.PL depended on availabliltity of "cc" and would bail
out on systems where gcc is exclusivly available. Thanks to Rob
Windsor for noticing and patching.
Fix compressed dnames in NAPTR/SRV
Clayton O'Neill noted that the the domain names in in the NAPTR
and SRV RRs rdata were subject to name compression which is not
conform the specs. Also see RFC 2782 and 2915.
Fix rt.cpan.org 18897
Zero-length rdata in TXT fixed (Acknowledgements to Roy Arends)
Fix rt.cpan.org 18785
SPF would not work unless the TXT RR was not loaded first. No
wonder, SPF fully inherits TXT and loading of TXT.pm is therefore a
prerequisit.
Fix rt.cpan.org 18713
Net::DNS::Resolver now deals gracefully with persistent sockets
that got disconnected. It will first try to connect again to the
socket and if that fails it will try to connect to the next
available nameserver. tcp_timeout() is the parameter that
determines how long to wait during a reconnect.
Fix rt.cpan.org 18268
Added reference to RFC in croak message for label length > 63 in
dn_comp().
Fix rt.cpan.org 18113
The inet6 tests contained another bug when online-tests were disabled.
Klaus Heinz discovered and provided a patch.
Pkgsrc changes:
none
Relevant changes since version 0.55:
=====================================
Fix rt.cpan.org 17783
The inet6 tests do not skip enough tests when ipv6 is not available.
I did not catch this in my setup since IPv6 is available on all my
machines.
Feature Implemented SPF (typecode 99).
Feature added rrsort() function.
See Net::DNS and Net::DNS::RR documentation for details.
Fix rt.cpan.org 14653 and 14049
TCP fallback after V6 socket failure
Pkgsrc changes:
- Removed hacks.mk. Net::DNS should work on Mac OS 10.4 withouth this
workaround.
- The package has two options now: "inet6" and "online-tests".
- p5-Net-DNS requires an additional package, p5-Net-IP.
Relevant changes since version 0.49:
====================================
- many bug fixes (see Changes and rt.cpan.org)
Feature Net::DNS::Nameserver loop_once()
Uncommented the documentation of the loop_once() function and introduced
get_open_tcp() that reports if there are any open TCP sockets (useful
when using loop_once().
loop_once() itself was introduced in version 0.53_02
Feature async nameserver behaviour.
Fix IPv6 on AIX
Binding to the local interface did not work when local address was
specified as "0" instead of "::". The problem was identified,
reported and fixed by Achim Adam.
Feature
Net::DNS::RR::OPT
added the the size(), do(),set_do() and clear_do() methods.
Feature:
Added "ignqrid" as an attribute to the Resolver.
use as:
ok (my $res=Net::DNS::Resolver->new(nameservers => ['127.0.0.1'],
port => 5354,
recurse => 0,
igntc => 1,
ignqrid => 1,
),
When the attribute is set to a non-zero value replies with the
qr bit clear and replies with non-matching query ids are
happily accepted. This opens the possibility to accept spoofed
answers. YOU CAN BURN YOURSELF WITH THIS FEATURE.
It is set to 0 per default and remains, except for this changes file
an undocumented feature.
Fix: Makefile.PL: Minor tweak to recognize Mac OS X 10.4 not so relevant
since netdnslib is distributed with the code.
Feature: Calling the Net::DNS::Resolver::dnssec method with a non-zero
argument will set the udppacketsize to 2048. The method will
also carp a warning if you pass a non-zero argument when
Net::DNS::SEC is not installed.
Feature: IPv6 transport support
IPv6 transport has been added to the resolver and to the
nameserver code.
To use IPv6 please make sure that you have IO::Socket::INET6 version
2.01 or later installed.
If IPv6 transport is available Net::DNS::Resolver::Recurse will make
use of it (picking randomly between IPv4 and IPv6 transport) use
the force_v4() method to only force IPv4.
Feature: Binary characters in labels
RFC 1035 3.1:
Domain names in messages are expressed in terms of a sequence of
labels. Each label is represented as a one octet length field
followed by that number of octets. Since every domain name ends
with the null label of the root, a domain name is terminated by a
length byte of zero. The high order two bits of every length octet
must be zero, and the remaining six bits of the length field limit
the label to 63 octets or less.
Unfortunatelly dname attributes are stored strings throughout
Net::DNS. (With hindsight dnames should have had their own class
in which one could have preserved the wire format.).
To be able to represent all octets that are allowed in domain
names I took the approach to use the "presentation format" for
the attributes. This presentation format is defined in RFC 1035
5.1.
I added code to parse presentation format domain names that has
escpaped data such as \ddd and \X (where X is not a number) to
wireformat and vice verse. In the conversion from wire format to
presentation format the characters that have special meaning in a
zone file are escaped (so that they can be cut-n-pasted without
pain).
These are " (0x22), $ (0x24), (0x28), ) (0x29), . (0x2e) , ;
(0x3b), @ (ox40) and \ (0x5c). The number between brackets
representing the ascii code in hex.
Note that wherever a name occurs as a string in Net::DNS it is
now in presentation format.
For those that dealth with 'hostnames' (subset of all possible
domain names) this will be a completely transparent change.
Details:
I added netdnslib wich contains Net::DNS's own dn_expand. Its
implemented in C and the source is a hodgepodge of Berkeley based
code and sniplets from ISC's bind9 distribution. The behavior, in
terms of which chars are escaped, is similare to bind9.
There are some functions added to DNS.pm that do conversion from
presentation and wire format and back. They should only be used
internally (although they live in EXPORT_OK.)
For esotheric test cases see t/11-escapedchars.t.
